Certainly not what I was expecting.

I agree with Freebeard, (3-seater comment) but suggest one further step. Put the batteries up front for even better weight distribution.

I think I read a while back weight distribution should be in the range 70/30 to 66/34 front/back with the two wheels up front configuration (trike). Or in other words, each wheel bearing a near equal amount of weight.

The design as presented when fully loaded is too tail heavy.
